Align the mesh or point cloud feature to the global origin and planes, which is important for accurate downstream manipulation of the model.
Orientation Method
| |
None |
Uses the existing orientation for the mesh or point cloud.
|
| |
Automatic |
Positions the model using the centroid and principal axes of inertia. Optionally select a point for the origin under Origin Reference, or refine the angles around the axes using Translation and Rotation Parameters.
|
| |
Select references |
Aligns the mesh or point cloud using your selections. Select a point as the origin under Origin Reference. Select any two other points to define two axes (X, Y, or Z) under Mesh Reference.
|
| |
Numeric input |
Aligns the mesh or point cloud using numeric inputs to achieve a fine degree of control. Select a point as the origin under Origin Reference. Move the mesh or point cloud along the axes using Translation Parameters or rotate it using Rotation Parameters.

Translation Parameters
 ,  ,  |
|
Moves the mesh or point cloud along the X, Y, or Z axis relative to the origin.
|
Rotation Parameters
 ,  ,  |
|
Rotates the mesh or point cloud about the X , Y, or Z axis.
|
Mesh Reference
Select points on the mesh or point cloud to establish the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis directions.
